The Effects of Mental Exhaustion,

Gus system, are the products of daily re-
newed mental exhaustion. Business avoca.
lions often involve an amount of mental wear
and tear very prejuaicial to physical health,
and the professions, II arduously pursued,
are no less destructive TO brain and nerve it's
sue. II Is one of the most important attributes
pensates for this undue loss of tissue, and
that 1t imparts new energy to the brain and
nerves. The rapidity with which 1t renews
weakened mental energy and physical vitality
Is remarkable, and shows that its invigorating
properties are of the highest order. Besides
increasing vital stamina, and counteracting
the effects of mental exhaustion, this poten-
tial medicine cures and prevents fever and
ague. rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia and con-
stipation, kidney and uterine weakness and
other complaints. Physicians also commend
II as u medicated stimulant and remedy.

Wants Alex Sweet for Minister.

The public inebrlatiOn OF Mr.. Sedg-
wick and Minister Manning, In the City
Of Mexico, was naturally very mortify-
ing to patriotic Americans, and was
vehemently condemned, but it now
seems the disgraceful conduct OF those
representatives arose from their ignOr-
ance Of the quantity of ozone, that is In
the atmosphere Of the City Of Mexico,
which is about 10000 feet above the level
OF the sea. A pint OF whisky will In
toxioate more certainly In the City Of
Mexico than quart Will 10 Washington
city, or halt gallon will in New York,
and Messrs. Sedgwick and Manning were
Ignorant OF this fact
President Cleveland owes 1t TO the ma
TONS reputation to send a man as minis
ter TO Mexico who can drink without
getting drunk. Alexander Sweet, Of
the Texas Siftings, is peculiarly adapted
for this position, as from the accounts
given by the most veraciOus historians
the deepest rotations even Of raw spir-
its have no perceptible effect either on
bis head or his legs. l will not yOuch
for the truth OF the anecdOte. but It is
currently reported that when Mr.. Sweet
residedat Austin, while out on one Occa-

bitten by rattlesnake and pole cat,
which instantly dropped dead from the
